NEW YORK MILLS — Village police charged a 22-year-old woman Wednesday with endangering the welfare of a child after her 4-year-old son was found at a local grocery store, New York Mills Police Officer Guy Danella said.

The woman was asleep in her home when a citizen shopping at Hapanowicz Market called police to report a young boy shopping alone in the store, Danella said. The caller thought the boy had been left at the store, but police learned he walked more than 1/4-mile from his home to the market, Danella said.

The boy then told police where he lived, and when the officer arrived at the home the exterior and interior doors swung open, Danella said.

The woman told police she was asleep because of medication she was taking and thought the doors were locked, Danella said. She was issued an appearance ticket and will appear in Village Court at a later date.
